LIONS’ CHARTER 
NIGHT 


Among the best programmes arrang- 
ed by the Lion’s Club was that given 
last Thursday evening. 

About eighty members and guests 
partook of a choice supper served in 
the usual Hansen Style. Everyone 
was pleased to see Lion President 
Walter Mercer able to preside it being 
the first since his accident before 
Christmas. 

Joe Morelli of Calgary charmed all 
with his capable playing on the Fiano- 
accordion, and the dances by himself 
and sister were cleverly executed.. 

Fit. Lt. Minto Swann , of Calgary, 
guest speaker for the event, held the 
closest interest of all in his able ad 
dress on Preparation for Peace after 
the War, under the following heads: 

(a) — Putting first things first. 

(b) — Having a right conception of 
success. ; 

(c) — Stewardship. 

Lt. Swann said there is an increas- 
ing appreciation of the need and value 
of the christian religion which is mak- 
ing itself manifest very generally. 
The religion of Humanism had _ been 
tried by many but it had been found 
wanting. It matters tremendously 
what you and I think. We must inject 
into the picture spirtual values. 


The criterion of real success is not 
how much wealth has a man, but what 
his wealth of character, what his de- 
sire to help lift the status of all toa 
rich and full realization of the God- 
given faculities. 

Lt. Swann emphatically stated the 
need of each to realize his stewardship 
in making a proper peace. There 
should be a Stewardship of Nations, 
making the next Treaty. He did not 
deery all of the past as bad and un- 
wonted. There was much good, and 
that should be taken along in building 
a New World. 

Mr. Tanner of Magrath told of the 
excellent Swimming Pool the Lions 
had financed and recommended to the 
local Lions the carrying on of their 
similar project as soon as conditions 
would permit. 

Mr. Stevens of California, threw on 
the screen a number of very beautiful 
pictures of The Tabernacle of Latter 
Day Saints in Salt Lake City, the very 
fine Pipe Organ which is the largest 
in the world, and showed capacity for 
a choir of 700 woices, which we in 
Strathmore have frequently heard 
over the radio with so much pleasure. 

Scenes of the country and towns re 
claimed by irrigation were very sig: 
nificant for a Strathmore audience 
where the subject of irrigation is 
such a live topic. 

Magnificent scenes of the peculiar 
rock formation in the Grand Canyon 
of Colorado, were breath-taking. 

A special vote of thanks to the en- 
tertainment committee, Messers A. D. 
Shrimpton J. W. Giffen. J. Robison, E. 
N. Ridley and Doug Shrimpton, is due. 

Mrs. Mercer and Mrs. Hirtle were 
piano accompanists. 


OO 


If we, ourselves, are frauds and 
cheats, 

In buying clothes or hoarding eats, 

We haven’t so much cause to shun 

The stealthy Jap and lying Hun.

Strathmore, Alberta, March 11th, 1945 


Af. Wi 
MEETING 


ee 

A well attended and enthusiastic 
meeting of the A. F. U. was held in 
the Dining-room of the Memorial Hall 
on Saturday afternoon March 6th. Be- 
tween 50 - 60 farmers were in attend- 
ance to hear the report of Mr. Leslie 
Campbell. who was this branch 's del- 
egate to the recent Provincial Conven- 
tion, in Edmonton. Mr. Charles Cow- 
ell was in the chair. Mr. Campbell 
gave a very clear and detailed account 
of the Convention. 

Following his address, a number ot 
questions were asked and much dis- 
cussion took place. 

Mr. Campbell touched on many top 
ics but perhaps the two most emphaz- 
ed were: that if the Dominion Govern- 
ment turns a deaf ear to the reason- 
able requests of the agricultural com- 
munity, then some form of direct 
action will have to be taken; that, at 
the Convention, the fraternal delegate 
of the Railroad Union, promised that, 
when the A. F. U. was strong enough 
and had given evidence of its sincerity 
and of its right to represent the farm- 
ers of Alberta, then the Railroad 
Union would give the A. F. U. full sup- 
port. 

Steps were taken at the meeting to 
organize a complete canvas of the 
Strathmore area in order to get ad- 
ditional members. It was also decided 
to send monthly to all members, free 
of charge, the A. F. U. Bulletin. 


CURLER’S SERVICE 


o—— 

The joint service held in St. Mich- 
ael’s Church for the Curlers’ Sunday 
evening was very fitting and conduct- 
ed with quiet dignity throughout. 

The Services and prayers were read 
by Rev. E. J. Hoad with Rev. S. R.. 
Hunt giving the sermon, and the music 
by the Choir well rendered. 

Rev. Hunt based the remarks of his 
interesting and challenging address on 
the text, “Except the Lord buildeth the 
house - ye labor in vain who build.” 
Drawing the anology between house 
in Curling and the House of Peace Mr. 
Hunt referred to Christ as the Great 
Master Builder and to build aright we 
must act on His principles. Rev. 
Hunt divided his sermon under the 
following. Building individually and 
nationally for Service of Thankgiving 
Feasting and Rejoicing after the War. 
Feeding the World’s Hungry. Open: 
ing our doors to Refugees. 

Speaking of the Service of Thanks- 
giving Rev. Hunt said this coupled 
with Merriment and Feasting was nat- 
ural, right and proper but only when 
all the hungry people of the world 
were fed. He asked how could we in 
Canada sit down to a banquet table of 
thanksgiving, while still there were un- 
fed people in Europe or elsewhere. 

Within the past two weeks forty 
ministers and _ college professors or 
presidents of the Eastern U. S. pre- 
viously opposed to plans for feeding 
the destitute of occupied Europe, have 
now signed a statement which urges 
sending of medicated food for chila- 
ren (dried milk and vitamins) to small 
democracies of Europe. They say 
“Millions of lives of our Greek allies 
are now being saved” by similar 
means. 

And thirdly, undoubtedly there 
would be many worthy people seeking 
homes and an opportunity to build for 
their future, in less crowded lands and 
Canada with her broad unoccupied 
lands should not close the door of op. 
portunity to them.

ICE CARNIVAL CANCELLED 
——@———— 

Owing to inclement weather the “Ice 
Carnival” was not held and later can- 
celled permanently. Next year, if con- 
ditions permit, we hope to make up 
this unfortunate disappointment by 
presenting a bigger and better show 
than ever, 

After meeting expenses and giving 
the Cadet Corps a _ small donation of 
$10.00 there was a very small balance. 
A previous report that $14.00 was 
made on the dance is false and should 
be disregarded. First prize in the 
lucky draw was won by George R. 
Perry of Strathmore; second by Mary 
Trollope, Nightingale; third by Max 
Crawford, Strathmore. 

The executive wishes to thank 
everyone for their generous support 
and taking the disappointment of no 
carnival without complaint. Further- 
more, the Jr. Hockey Club wishes to 
express its sincere appreciation to 
those who in any way helped with the 
preparation for the carnival and dance 


LEGION NOTES 


There was a very good turn out of 
Legionaires for the meeting held last 
Tuesday, the number being increased 
by two new members, vets of the last 
war. Cards and letters of thanks for 
cigarettes from the boys overseas 
were very much in evidence and show- 
ed how much this effort is appreciated. 
It was agreed that more should be 
done in this line as it was so much ap- 
preciated, 

The Election of Officers delayed 
from last month owing to adverse 
weather was the main business. There 
was no rivalry for the various offices 
the former slate being re-elected un- 
animously. C. E. Way, President, J. 
Wagstatf Ist. Vice. R. E. Grey second 
Vice, W. S. Paterson Secretary-treas- 


urer, with the aay ie Committee of 


A. V. MacParland, J. S. Gunn, and H. 


McGregor will aiieties for another 


term. There was a bit of confusion 
with the only ballot taken that was for 
Entertainment Committee and when 
it was all straightened out S. H. Crow- 
her, H. G. Smith, H. C. Willson, J. W. 
Robison, R. E. Grey and W. H. Foley 
were the members finally chosen to 
look after the social end. They im- 
mediately got busy to complete arran- 


gements for a social evening on Fri-

day March 12th. The re-election of the 
Sick Committee, J. Sharp, R. E. Grey, 
and J. S. Gunn drew to mind the Red 
Cross Drive and the President’s appeal 
for all to support this worthy cause re- 
sulted in a donation of $25.00 being 
made. 

The shooting has been so poor of 
late that the nimrods think they ought 
to and can do better than they did last 
month. Another try for the “possible” 
will be made the first and third Thurs- 
day of the month. 


NURSE NORTH 
WRITES HOME 


Extract from an interesting letter to 
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. North, by 
Alberta North who is now taking a 
special course at Johns Hopkins hos- 
pital, New York. 

We arrived in Washington about 9 
am.. Went first to the Capital and 
were quite disappointed it wasn’t open 
on Sundays, any other day we could 
have gone in. However, vie saw what 
the outside looked like. Next we 
visited the Lincoln, Washington and 
Jefferson Memorials, also the Arling- 
ton Cemetry, the largest National Cem- 
etery. The tomb of the Unknown 
Soldier, and a very large amphitheatre. 
Here they hold their Armistice Day 
programs. 

We then went out to Mount Vernon, 
fifteen miles from Washington. This 
was really very’ interesting. We 
went all through the house. Aiso saw 
Washington’s Tomb and a number of 
her historic buildings. 

On returning to Washington, we 
went. first to the Smithsonian Institu- 
tion. Here we spent about an hour, 
but I think one could spend days and 
still not see it all. No matter “hat 
you want to see, its there, I thik. 

Early cars, trains, street cars, planes 
flags, dishes, quilts, guns and dresser 
worn by all the President’s wives. Al- 
so the development of Cameras, spinn- 
ing wheels and spinning and of med- 
icines and _ surgical instruments and 
many other things. 

We then visited the Library of Con- 
gress. This also was a very iuterest- 
ing building. Saw the orginal Declar- 
ation of Independence and the Con- 
stitution. Also saw the Supreme Court 
Building. This was all the buildings 
we visited but saw many more just 
driving around. I nearly forgot, we 
saw “The White House” from a_ dis- 
tance about a block away. That was 
as close as we could get as it is all be- 
ing guarded. Also saw quite a few 
anti aircraft guns around on buildings, 

It was like spring out today and a 
perfect day to go sight seeing. There 
are so many interesting places to go 
around here but as we are not suppos- 
ed to use tires and gas for pleasure, 
one can't get to see many of them. 


COMING EVENTS 


The Sorosis Society is sending 
Easter boxes to our men overseas on 
March 16th. But for the support given 
us by our friends, we could not carry 
on this work. We do not solicit help 
except by this means, and if anyone in- 
terested cares to help by cash donation 
or credit at either grocery store we 
shall be very grateful. We prefer 
this method to individual contributions 
as we have forty boxes to send, and 
each box contains the same articles.

LOOKING INSIDE THE ENGINE 


—— 
Call me lucky or not, but I’m just an 


ordinary weekly newspaper editor who 
was invited to come down to Ottawa, 
that daffy but pulsating, throbbing 
with energy warheart of a _ nation 
which is such a staunch and energetic 
partner of the battling United Nations 
I was asked to write a series of artic: 
les for home consumption—that is, for 
the plain, honest-to-God folk in the 
towns and on the farms who constitute 
the readers of Canadian weekly news: 
papers. 

I didn’t get any salary for coming 
down here, but they did pay my ex- 
penses. I felt somewhat like your own

know, as well as I do, that weekly 
paper editors at home are merely suf: 
fered. But with the finish of these 
articles, like R. B. Bennett used to say 


before they stuck him in the British 
hall of fame, “He had his day and 
ceased to be.” 

I came to have a personal unhamper-. 
ed, uncajoled, unpoliticked look at the 
Wartime Prices and Trade Board and 
its mechanism; what makes the 
wheels go ’round. How it affects the 
daily life, the routine and economies of 
you and me. I don’t owe a cent to any- 
one in Ottawa from Donald Gordon 
down, in politics or ration cards, so 1

Carte Blanche—No Punches Pulled 

I wasn’t asked to pull punches. That 
shows I don’t look like a politician. I 
was given carte blanche to look inside 
the engine. to ask questions, to inter- 
view the really big names who handle 
Canada’s great wartime economy, and 
that in itself was a thrill. And here, 
take my word for it, you’d be impress- 
ed like I was. From butter rationing 
to subsidies the men doing the job are 
in my opinion sincere, patriotic, hard 
working and don’t let anyone guff vou 
about politics and bureaucracy. It’s 
all such a colossal but necessary thing. 

They admit mistakes have been 
made. They also admit they are hum- 
an—even the experts and economic ad- 
visors; but they’re all aiming towards 
the best deal tor the greatest number, 
to involve the least hardship for all of 
us in a war which is bringing new and 
ever increasing, intricate problems af- 
fecting our very lives. Just remem- 
ber when you shake your head wisely 
at your neighbor and say something a- 
bout “them guys at Ottawa,” that one 
time you left the barn door open, bossy 
wandered out into the blizzard and you 
lost yourself a hundred bucks or so. 

Believe me, if you and I are to con- 
tinue eating the nutritive foods neces- 
sary to our complex organisms, to fort- 
ify us for what may be a _ long and 
terrible war-pull (and after the war), 
if you and I are going to be able to 
continue paying and receiving wages 
adequate to a fairly decent continuing 
standard of living; if the producer and 
laborer is to reap in at least some 
worthy measure the efforts of his toil 
while this war lasts—-without any tco 
explosive disruption—it will be be- 
cause this organization thinks, acts 


and continues in its (what appears to > STRATHMORE a 


me to be) sincerity of purpose, let the 
chips fall where they may. 

I propose this series of articles to be 
just a plain, unvarnished telling of 
what Isaw in Ottawa. Montreal and 
Toronto. I would like to be able to 
tell you in the same way your own ed- 
itor does when he’s on the beam about 
something. I want to tell what thinks 
the head of the whole outfit, Chairman 
of the Board, Donald Gordon, that big, 
dark Scotsman who dynamically leads 
this organization and who, by the way, 
might look like the hardware man or 
ti *'eeben *L in yourtown. He talk- 
ed to me as if I, myself, meant some- 
thing in this world. That, to me, was 
the clue why even stenographers keep 
the midnight oil burning in this organ- 
ization—and I do mean to work. 
Research Economist Phyllis Turner 

Then take Mrs. Phyllis G. Turner, 
administrator for Oils and Fats for 
Canada and a member of the United 
Nations Committee on these vital com- 
modities. She’s a former economist of 
the Tariff Board; a strikingly beauti- 
fully woman doing a tremendously big 
job in something you'll be intensely 
interested to hear about later if you 
stick with me long enough in this ser- 
ies. 

Then there’s Kenneth W. Taylor 
who I talked with, Secretary of the 
Board, a McMaster man, an economist 
of standing, who certainly knows what 
its all about. His type of person (like 
the others) doesn’t have to fiddle with 
politics. And women readers will 
surely be interested in what Byrne 
Hope Sanders told me. She’s better 
known as Editor of Chatelaine and 
now heads Consumers branch division, 
with its farflung chain of “watching” 
local committees. Behind her discern- 
ing, intelligent eyes you could visua- 
ize her as a young mom in the kitchen 
slicing around the pie dough. 
Information From Source 

Are you interested in hoarding, etc.? 
You'd be surprised what I learned 
from Fred A. McGregor, adminstrator 
of the Enforcement division. You’d 
take him for your own church minister 
He doesn’t look like Himmler and 
hates anyone who gets tough, but he’s

do this there must be some policy to 
maintain friendly relations among the 
many coutries of the world. 

The first class to be consulted in es- 
tablishing Social Security in Canada 
must be those who are fighting for 
Canada’s battle for freedom at the 
front. They will want useful and re. 
munerative employment together with 
adequate help for the disabled and the 
dependents of those who have fallen. 
The ideal that must be aimed at is 
freedom from fear and freedom from 
want. If our modern society does not 
provide this security then the State 
must find measures to meet the dan- 
ger. Such hazards as employment, old 
age, blindness and the death of the 
bread winner have been provided for 
in a small inadequate way by the or- 
ganized State. The Committee is be- 
ing established to report on the most 
practical methods of Social Insurance 
and their inclusion in a National Com- 
prehensive plan. ; 

The Budget was delivered this year 
by Mr. Ilsley, with almost every mem- 
ber present and all the galleries crowd 
ed. There was not a single interrup- 
tion or question and there was applau- 
se from all sides. Canada’s national 
income is now between eight and nine 
billion dollars and five and one half 
billions will be required by the Dom- 
inion Government this year. Taxes

rowed from Canadians, 

Financial measures are one of the 
means through which each person has 
his or her share in the War. They are 
weapons to be used in the common 
purpose of winning the war. 

T. L. Church was speaking of the 
heavy taxation. He said: “For two 
thirds of the members of this House if 
they died tomorrow we should have to

and especially in Great Britain which 
must of necessity import much .of its

make a brief study of what is being 
done to help raise as much food as 
possible. 

We found it to be a fact that many 
of the former beautiful flower gardens 
are now converted into vegetable 
growing. One notable example that we 
saw at Windsor Castle where the 
flower garden in what was orginally a 
moat is now devoted to vegetables. 
While at the Roebuck Inn at Wytch 
we were interested to notice that the 
lovely teraced gardens at the rear of 
this Inn were now filled with vegtabl- 
es, 

Nearly all the Canadian camps are 
also growing all the vegetables they 
can in any odd corners of the land. At 
the camp of the No.1 General Rein- 
forcement Unit, they had a prize dis-

Last year they 
said there were thirty tons of potatoes 
alone grown on land in camp. 

At the naval base which we visited 
they had 50 acres in potatoes although 


it was difficult to see where they 
Everywhere we went we saw vast 


fields of cabbages, potatoes, and in 
some sections, sugar beets, and some 
of these fields looked much larger than 
| fields of similar products which are 
ordinarily seen in Canada. 

We had a _ splendid opportunity to 
really study an English farm when we 
visited one day the Canon Court Farm 
in Berkshire. This farm, owned by Mr. 
Henry J. Purser, is probably the best 
farm in that section of England, as it 
has won the King George V prize for 
efficiency and the King Edward VIII 
cup for the best cultivated farm in 
| Berkshire. This is said to be the only 
;}cup of such a nature ever given by 
King Edward VIII, 

This farm is 500 acres in area; and 
four tractors are used onit. This year 
it produced among other things 3,200 
bushels of oats, and the part planted 
in wheat produced 64 bushels to the 
acre. Mr. Purser was milking 41 cows 
when we were there. . 

It was interesting to learn that this 
farm was redeemed from tithes only 
five years ago. Up until that time 
tithes had been paid annually to Ox- 
ford University. 

The farm buildings are extensive, 
well laid out, and built of brick, and 
even the partitions of the pens were 
built of brick. The barns were much 
more substantial than the usual ones 
in Canada, and when one of the Canad- 
ian editors asked how old these barns 
were, he was informed that “they are

WARNING 


CANADA FACES A WOOD-FUEL FAMINE 
NEXT WINTER 


RE YOU one of the Canadian householders who burned fences, doors, 
and even flooring to keep warm in this winter’s sub-zero weather? 


Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape 
through? 

In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater 
hardships loom unless you take immediate action. 


The shortage already has affected many communities ... total stocks of 
dry wood are nearly exhausted .. . in some places the small supply of green 
wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. 


Throughout most of Canada, fuel-wood is obtained not far from where it is 
consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. 


The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuel shortage is 
so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com- 
munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided 
to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged 
in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures 
will be adopted: 


Va subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all 
commercial fuel-wood contracted for and cut on or before 
June 30, 1943, and held to dealers’ account on that date. 


2 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his 
discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation 
costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel-wood, particul- 
arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary 
to contract for fuel-wood at locations outside the area from 
which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain 
any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from 
the Coa! Controiler before contracting for such supplies. 


3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer’s 
cost all commercial grades of fuel-wood on which a subsidy 
of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers’ 
hands as at May 31, 1944. 


@ Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary 
equipment. 


5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily 
in response to this appeal to engage in fuel-wood cutting, will

Honourable C. D. Howe, Minister 


the double ring ceremony on a_ heart 
shaped white satin cushion, and her 
little cousin, Elenora Rasmussen, a 
winsome wee flower girl in a long pale 
yellow crepe frock. She carried a Vic. 
torian nosegay. Miss Lucille Rasmus- 
sen and Miss Lois Rasmussen, sisters 
of the bride were charming brides- 
maids, gowned in similiar dresses of 
blue and pink taffeta. Their flowers 
were carnations. Mr. Alvin Johnson, 
a cousin of the groom, was best man. 
Mr. Roy Rasmussen and Mr. Howard 
Rasmussen were ushers. 

During the ceremony the choir sang 
as an anthem, the brides favorite hymn 
“Sun of My Soul.” Mr! Torvald Lar- 
sen, of Calgary, was organist. 


Following the ceremony, a reception 
was held in the church for two hund- 
red and fifty relatives and friends of 
the bridal couple. Among them were 
the bride’s grandparents, Mr and Mrs 
Jens Rasmussen, pioneers in the Stan- 
dard Community. Rev. A. Husted- 
Christensen, who performed the mar- 
riage ceremony, acted as Master of 
Ceremonies at the reception. Several 
musical numbers and short congratul- 
atory speeches added to the enjoy- 
ment of the evening. 

The wedding cake surrounded with 
camellia buds from Eugene, Oregon, 
made an unusual and charming centre 
for the bride’s table, which was arran- 
ged in front of a large Union Jack 
and the Stars and Stripes. Daffodils 
lent a spring-like atmosphere to the 
room, 

After a short honeymoon in Calgary, 
Corporal and Mrs Anderson will leave 
for Del Rio, Texas. where the groom 
will resume his Military Training.

Ergot of Cereals and Grasses 


Ergot is an important disease 
because it reduces grain yields and, 
when present in feed grains, may 
cause acute poisoning, or even death, 
in farm animals, 

Ergot is most noticeable in rye, 
hut also attacks barley, wheat 
(especially durum) and occasionally 
oats. The same ergot also attacks 
many native and cultivated grasses. 
Ergot bodies (called  sclerotia) 
produced on grasses constitute an 
important source of infection for 
cereals, Infected hay crops should 
be cut before sclerotia have time to 
develop. Early stages of infection 
may be identified by the presence of 
drops of sticky exudate on the heads 
or panicles, 

Ergot bodies falling to the ground 
when mature, remain dormant until 
midsummer and then germinate. 
Countless tiny spores are discharged 
and carried about by the wind. The 
lucky ones lodge in the flowers of 
grasses or cereals and set up infection 
resulting in @ new generation of 
ergot bodies. 

Control measures include early 
cutting ef infected native and culti- 
vated grasses, and deep plowing of 
fields on which infected grain crops 
grew. Ergot bodies can be removed 
from seed grain by immersing the 
grain in a solution of common salt 
consisting of 40 pounds of salt in 
25 gallons of water. When the grain 
is immersed and agitated, the ergot 
bodies rise to the surface. The grain 
must then be washed to prevent 
injury from salt. 

Farmers may secure, from line 
elevator agents, a circular in which 
this disease is discussed more fully.

PILLARS OF DEMOCRACY — 
THE SCHOOL. 


— 
The business of the school is educa- 


tion and the business of education is 
the development of personality and 
character. 

The National Dictionary defines ed- 
ucation as “the systematic training 
of the moral and intellectual facul- 
ties.” and this elementary definition 
carries us a long way. 

Development and training have an 
end in view and that end, in educa: 
tion, is character and personality. The 
purpose of education is no longer con- 
ceived of purely in terms of mental 
discipline as it was in the past, 
though mental discipline still belongs 
to the essentials of a well-developed 
personality. 

Today the purposes of education 
must reach beyond this and must aim 
to develop personalities with vital 
geuse of social responsibility if civil- 
ization is to endure. 


Civilization cannot continue to exist 
fn an atmosphere of social, racial or |

Or does that take in too large a|/say that the future 
| horizon for the vision of our education- | world will depend, not upon the factual 


today. War, which is teh ultimate ex- 
pression of discord between nations 


| in acts of violence is also the utmost 


of men’s effort to destroy each other. 
War could never be waged if hu- 


manity possessed an adequate sense | 


of social responsibility. Racial and 
national hatreds and bigotries are on- 
ly the expressions of man’s antisocial 
attitudes in the larger groups that we 
call “national groups.” 

Conversely, nothing can _ establish. 
or guarantee a lasting peace until 
mankind has developed a genuine soc: 
ial consciousness. For that( if for no 
other reason, our schools today con- 
sider it t be of primary importance to 
develop a large and sane social out: 
look in the hearts and minds of the 
pupils. 

Not only the ideals 
but also those of a real world order 
must find their development in the 
social consciousness of the human 
race, 

And this social consciousness must 
reach out across all boundaries, across 
all oceans, even unto the ends of the 
earth.

| harmoniously and cooperatively with 
all the members of the household. If 
he does not learn that much in the 
home the school can accomplish very 
little in developing that larger social 
consciuosness. 

In the classroom, and on the play- 
| ground, the child’s contacts with other 
human beings is enlarged. In many 
cases it cuts across the lines of colour 
and language. If the home training 
has been of such a nature as to build 
up a cooperating personality these 
contacts will be easily and naturally 
accepted. If not. the child may find 
itself almost friendless in a _ schoo) 
even though it numbers its pupils by 
the hundreds. 

' Making friends easily is most fre- 
quently the result of the earlier train- 
ing of the child and of the home en- 
viron ment. A child may be so sert- 


thing but an ego-centric individualist 
out of him!

In the home, the child either learns part but upon the success of the schoo) 


in developing personalities with a 
social consciousness that is inspired by 
the larger moral visions of Christian- 
ity. That which does not only say, but 
intensely feels that: 

“In Christ there is no East or West 

In him no South or North.” 

It must be a _ social consciousness 
that can see in every human being a 
child of God and a brother-man, be he’! 
red or yellow, black or white. For! 
that we may need to restore our christ. 
ian religion to the place of utmost im: , 
portance in the scheme of training the 
child for world citizenship. Not to be, 
taught as a doctrine or creed, but as @ | 
great principle of life in which we find 
the truer sense of values. A principle 
of life in which we find the superior

For some reason onions are not a 
satisfactory crop in England, but there 
are some grown, although not nearly 
enough for the demand. Some good 
specimens were seen at Amersham, 
and here the owner had carefully tied 
cotton over the tops to save the seed. 

In September, the writer visited the 
Agricultural Fair at Cheltenham 
which was being held in the City Hull 
there. There were wery fine displays 
of vegetables especially potatoes, can- 
bages, turnips and beans. Scarlet run- 
ner beans are a highly regarded food 
in England, and some of the urge:t 
pods at this show were fourteen inch- 
es long. Carrots and onions were not 
as good as would be seen ata fair in 
Canada, but on the whoie the exhibi.s

There were several exhibits of eggs,

the people of Canada did not know how 
to take care of their buildings. 

Mr. Purser showed some extra fine 
cabbages and marrows which he had 
brought back from Covent garden 
market the previous day because he 
was unable to sell them. Apparently 
just at that season there was more 
produce than could be sold. 

Although farmers in England are en- 
couraged to raise pigs, they are not 
allowed to retain only a certain propor- 
tion for themselves. While the editors 
were in England there was an item in 
the newspapers telling of a farmer and 
' butcher Stanley Flatt, of Church Farm 
' (Staffordshire) who was fined one 
‘hundred pounds for killing two pigs 
when he only had a license to slaught- 
er one. 

Carrying out government regula- 
tions was not the only problem that 
Mr. Purser and his family had to con- 


a sheep market, and the buyers ace 
mostly farmers or sheep herders seck- 
ing to improve their flocks. 


Ther were nearly ten thousand 
sheep there. all herded into pens ab- 
out ten feet square. The average 
price that day for a sheep was said to 
be between fifty and sixty shillin’s. 
A workman told us that the farmers 
try to replace their herds every two 

ears.

leisure hours digging in these plots 
which are let to them at a nominal

This past year there were good 
crops of apples. plums’ and pears 


grown in Britain, and there is also a 
small quantity of grapes grown there. 
One thing that was strange to Cana‘- 
ian eyes was the training of apple 
trees on stone walls. A good examp'e 
of this was seen on the walls around 
the Bishop’s Palace at Wells. 

A War Agriculture Committee func- 
tions in every county to try and _ in- 
crease agricultural production, and 
these committees strive to get every 
acre possible ploughed up and planted 
in vegetables. The reason for this is 
that ten acres in pasture will not sun- 
port more than four people, but ten 
acres of potatoes will maintain 42 


people, or in wheat will maintain 21. 


Aid to Allies is one of the most im- 
portant functions performed by the
